ye bosida phaTi gudDi ye suraKHon bhari kamli

dil-e-hasrat-zada mein ek shoala sa bhaDakta hai

taire giton ki lai are tauba

sara jahan hai chand ki kirnon se sim-gun

jhumti hai faza-e-dasht-o-jabal

hawaen KHunuk chandni pur-sukun

wo dil nahin raha wo tabiat nahin rahi

chandni, tare, abr ke TukDe

qalb zinda hai lafz hain be-jaan

hawa thi ThanDi ThanDi chandni thi aur dariya tha

jo puchhta hai koi surKH kyun hain aaj aankhen

ja raha tha main sar jhukae hue

aab-e-dariya mein hai jis tarah rawani pinhan

ek taswir khinch di goya

pihna-e-asman pe hain tari udasiyan
